BrianSez's Review

Summary - Barely OK 2.0

Ok, so Paranormal is one of those “boo movie” franchises that just won’t quit, even long after it should have. When I went, many of the seats were occupied by middle-schoolers who wouldn’t stop talking and screaming. Just like them, I knew what was going to happen before it happened; but it didn’t matter, I still got scared at the predictable times. The personal-video style, long running quiet shots followed by jarring scare-sequences is a time-tested formula that is kind of addicting – especially if you are a tweener. And yeah, maybe a little credit goes to the cast; the little kid and his mom were quite creepy. Fun for the family, but skip it if you want something deeper in your horror flicks.

    Excellent review Bri. “A time-tested formula that is kind of addicting – especially if you are a tweener.” Got it.
